MyAimIsTrue February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 When Secretary of the Navy Sarah Porter learns her daughter has been kidnapped, the NCIS team partners with the FBI to track the case, determine a motive and bring her home. Also, McGee’s childhood friend, NCIS Special Agent Valerie Page is in town to assist the team with advance tactics training Link to comment
AshleyLyn February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 Interesting middle name for McGee. Got suspicious of the girlfriend because she was playing peacemaker way to well. Probably a choice on the actress but she sounded rehearsed. 2 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 (edited) Oh PUH-LEAZE!!! Like I'm supposed to believe McGee had a name like "McStudmuffin"??? Unless a stuttering, stammering, klutzy is a new definition for a Stud Muffin? Maybe to those who haven't been watching this show since DAY ONE. I was half-right. I figured both the dad and his "partner" were involved. So, was Christina Chang auditioning to be Tony's replacement? I do not LIKE what I saw in the Preview. DO.NOT.LIKE. ETA: Goldblume!!! Err, I mean, FORNELL!!!! "Now SIT!" Me: snort. Edited February 17, 2016 by GHScorpiosRule 2 Link to comment
betsyboo February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 So, was Christina Chang auditioning to be Tony's replacement? I hope so! I love Christina Chang. I thought her chemistry was great with all of them - especially Gibbs, which is the holy grail. I almost wished for a moment that she and McGee would hook up and then realized that I love Delilah - no! Nevermind! That's the first time I felt Leslie Hope was human. Good ep for her. I admit I BUSTED out laughing at the primary color bandaids. Speculation - no inside info here - wonder if Tony will leave to become part of the React team. I'd love for his exit to be non-romance related. (Unless Jeanne suddenly becomes available. Then I'm good with it.) <ducks tomatoes> I'll show myself out to the UO thread, kthxbai. 1 Link to comment
MyAimIsTrue February 17, 2016 Author Share February 17, 2016 While it seemed obvious to me that the father's girlfriend was involved (her concern was too eager and seemed forced) I still enjoyed how the episode played out. Anyone else get a vibe that there may be a romance blooming for SecNav and Gibbs? I'm sure it would break all kinds of protocol to have that happen but I don't know that I'd complain. 7 Link to comment
VanillaBeanne February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 I also got a spark from secnav and Gibbs in last night's episode. And she is a redhead. 3 Link to comment

That she talks about him at home to daughter - who apparently had all the faith in the world in him - and his little smile at the end!! 1 Link to comment
j5cochran February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 Oh PUH-LEAZE!!! Like I'm supposed to believe McGee had a name like "McStudmuffin"??? Unless a stuttering, stammering, klutzy is a new definition for a Stud Muffin? I assumed that McGee had been telling her DiNizzo stories for many years, including Tony's formula for McGee nicknames. She seemed sharp enough to turn the nickname formula on its ear, as a tease to Tony and a boost for her old friend McGee. I also got a spark from secnav and Gibbs in last night's episode. And she is a redhead. I thought the same thing! 2 Link to comment
zivadanielle February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 I have totally gotten that vibe before about this SecNav and Gibbs--last night the vibe was strong. Good call on the McGee's friend being the possible Tony replacement. But her sudden insertion with the backstory that she knew about everyone seemed a little forced to me. I did like her though. 1 Link to comment
MDL February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 When McGee's old friend appeared, I was concerned that: 1) she would be the bad guy....................glad that they didn't go that route 2) she would replace Delilah as McGee's Girlfriend/love interest....................may still happen but I think that they are "2 buddies" and too close to be lovers(??) but still.... 3)she would become a replacement for Tony....still a possibility, despite her saying that she liked moving around. and at the end of the ep: she is like a younger, female Gibbs-super sniper skills, etc....is door # 3 still an option? I also got the "vibe" between Gibbs and SecNav. They certainly seem to have mutual respect. 1 Link to comment
Trey February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 I was just really annoyed that Fornell took McGee's tea, didn't like it, and then gave it to someone to throw away instead of giving it back to McGee. Of course, McGee may not have wanted it back, but still... Otherwise I liked the episode. I certainly got the vibe that McGee's old friend will be a new person on the show. I already like her better than I like Bishop. 3 Link to comment
zivadanielle February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 (edited) Also--I *lurved* the SecNav abode (what we saw of it). There should be a HGTV/NCIS crossover show! Ha ha! Edited February 17, 2016 by zivadanielle 4 Link to comment
catray February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 A pretty enjoyable episode. I actually liked SecNav in this one-- I liked that she actually listened to Gibbs and Fornell (as opposed to the dad who predictably flipped out [which is totally normal if your child is kidnapped] but I hate it when the parents think they know more than, you know, trained agents, argh). Gibbs and the SecNav had some nice interactions this episode-- I liked her asking if he had 6th sense for when coffee was being brewed and I think the whole thing let Gibbs see the more human side of her. I always feel like these cases must be so bittersweet for Gibbs I really liked Valerie Page and would totally be on board if she came back. I think some of the thoughts I had obviously crossed other people's minds; namely that Tony might leave to become part of the React team, or that Page could be a possible replacement for Tony. Not thrilled with the previews of next week's episode... I would like the Jeanne chapter closed. Promos can be misleading, though, so we'll just have to wait and see. My fervent wish that if Tony if wants to turn back time to change what happened, Jeanne shuts him down and we move on. She's married now and it's been.... 10 years almost? Time to let it go, guys. 1 Link to comment

Julia February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 Funny because I noticed what I think was subway tile as a backsplash! Weirdly enough, subway tile is incredibly fashionable right now for kitchen and bath renovations (we just redid the kitchen). 1 Link to comment
mommalib February 18, 2016 Share February 18, 2016 Good Episode and I liked Mcgee old friend. I think we may have met Tony's replacement. 1 Link to comment
MissLucas February 18, 2016 Share February 18, 2016 Have we ever heard about that React Team before? Or was it a convenient plot device to introduce agent Page? I thought it odd that NCIS all of a sudden has its own special-ops team (or whatever they actually are - I loved McGees information dump and Gibbs' annoyed 'I know that'). Not that I mind - I liked agent Page. But I'm cautious about her being Tony's replacement. After Ziva's departure the show went through a lot of candidates before settling on Bishop. (Some of them I would have preferred *cough*Borin*cough*.) 3 Link to comment

MissLucas February 18, 2016 Share February 18, 2016 Show's keeping up with things! Very interesting article - thanks! (And if agent Page isn't joining the DC team there's still the option for yet another spin-off LOL!) 1 Link to comment
mjstrick February 18, 2016 Share February 18, 2016 I liked the episode in general, I like Caitlin Carver, nice to see her not playing a crazing women. (Fans of The Fosters will know what I mean) Two things really bugged me about the episode. McGee's friend teasing Tony about kissing 'a guy'. No he kissed a transgender women, not a guy. And the show and character have been nothing but transphobic about it ever since. The other was Megan saying she knew Gibbs would find her ring. He didn't Abby did, she did more to save her than Gibbs did. I thought Caitlin did a great job. I've known her since she was in middle school and she is one of the sweetest young women ever. So proud of her. Link to comment
secnarf February 18, 2016 Share February 18, 2016 I think if they were setting up McGee's friend to be a possible regular/ replacement for Tony, they did a pretty poor job of it. They established a character that has no desire to be settled in any one place and doesn't know how McGee is okay with being "stuck at headquarters". She loves that she gets to travel a lot for her current job, and seems to like adventure. She doesn't sound like the type of person who would want to settle on Gibbs' team. If they do make her Tony's replacement, it will require significant retconning of the character, which seems dumb if they introduced her for that explicit purpose. Also, I believe there were casting notices a while back for two characters that would be "replacements" for Tony and neither fits McGee's friend. 1 Link to comment
Julia February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 Well, yeah, but that's assuming that they stay in the same jobs next season. If they're looking for a way to transition to life after Tony and give Mark Harmon a lighter workload, why not have McGee work with a new field unit which they anvilliciously informed us has an age limit? It would also explain the weirdly counterintuitive push to turn eidetic super-analyst Bishop into action girl. Link to comment
Linderhill February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 As soon as we met McGee's friend a few things went thru my mind. 1) I hope this isn't a way of introducing Tony's replacement. I like the character well enough but as other posters have said, her character would need to be changed a bit. 2) oh look, an idea for another spin-off and 3) REACT? isn't that what the ill-fated NCIS: Red was supposed to be? 1 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 and 3) REACT? isn't that what the ill-fated NCIS: Red was supposed to be? I thought that was Criminal Minds: RED? With Forrest Whittaker? Link to comment
secnarf February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 I thought that was Criminal Minds: RED? With Forrest Whittaker? No, NCIS: Red was the failed spinoff. The Criminal Minds failed spinoff with Forrest Whittaker was Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour. Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 No, NCIS: Red was the failed spinoff. The Criminal Minds failed spinoff with Forrest Whittaker was Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour. Ah, right. Thanks secnarf. The Red, starred John Corbett, right? Link to comment
JessDVD February 19, 2016 Share February 19, 2016 A moment of silence for the failed NCIS: Red, even if the premise was weird and implausible, for no John Corbett in my NCIS-verse. ... Anyway, I agree that it doesn't make much sense for Page to be an early intro of Tony's replacement. (My 7 year old is finally reading reasonably well and is reading this out loud over my shoulder. This is an odd development) I'm always a fan of a couple missing persons episodes per season, since on TV they always end up okay and not at the bottom of a river or something. I appreciate that SecNav, not that I remembered that was who she was without the ep description, was a relatively normal female in power on this show since Lord knows we haven't seen basically any of them ever. My enjoyment of the show honestly has been somewhat diminished since the announcement that MW is leaving. I've never witnessed a kidnapping/ransom in real life or in the news in my area or really ever at all, but I always wonder if the people who do those things are actually that organized enough to bleach a car and put bombs in all the cars around the basement of the garage (I hope those cars' owners were current on their auto insurance) and all that stuff. Although if you have the anatomy to kidnap the secretary of the Navy's kid and want to actually get away with it, I suppose you're probably the sort that'll make plans in advance too. 1 Link to comment
UncleChuck February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 Interesting middle name for McGee. Not so unusual that a career Naval officer like McGee's dad would name his son after a very famous Navy Admiral. 3 Link to comment
